My favorite tattoo and the story behind it: My favorite tattoo is the traditional style "Mom" heart on my right shoulder. I was raised by a single mother and have a special place in my heart for her. I have only black and grey work, and the very talented West Mayberry in Anchorage, AK modernized the traditional "Mom" while still keeping it classy in grey scale.

My next tattoo: My next tattoo is an elaborate cat portrait. The original drawing is by Louis Wain, the founder of Cat Fancy but also the first recorded case of schizophrenia in the early 1900s. As his brain started to deteriorate, his cat illustrations became incredibly detailed and surreal.
